Craving for some Japanese Ramen? We tried this restaurant named Menya Genki along Macapagal Blvd, which specializes in Tonkotsu Ramen. The restaurant interiors were clean and simple. Brightly-lit though, and cool enough :)
I tried the Special Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen (Special comes with Ajitsuke Tamago or seasoned soft-boiled eggs). The think and flavorful broth supposedly comes from boiling pork bone and fat for 18 hours.
It's my first time to try this, as my usual ramen is limited to those with clear beef or chicken broth; as I am not overly fond of pork -- I do have reservations on the potentially high calorie content from consuming pork fat. Generally, I enjoyed the big bowl of ramen which was flavorful, but I think the consistency (or thickness, if you will) of the broth may still be improved. The soft-boiled eggs, however, were cooked to perfection. I am told they only serve 50 Ajitsuke Tamago per day. The Tempura was nothing exemplary, but can balance the ramen taste.
Be prepared to shell out about P300 for the Special Ramen.
